Bumped out of selected seat, any guess why?
A few days ago, I booked an intra-EU flight for a party of four (golight), and found row 2 open for selection. OK, so they haven't sold any plus tickets, I thought to my self, and took it (well aware of the risk of getting bumped if they suddenly sells plus)
Today, we were bumped out of row two. OK, so now they sold some seats, I thought ad so so I just went online to check the seatmap to find best seats for us. But row 2 is still open for selection. If I do a dummy booking in plus, only row 1 is open for selection (with only 1 of 6 seats taken)
So what could be the reason they moved us then? Has row2 some significance I don't now about?

Yeah, that might be it. I'm back in row 2 now and will see what happens next

Well, was bumped out of row 2 once again, just a few hours later. Row 2 still available.
